New Orleans Nectar Syrup

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"Growing up in New Orleans, we used to go to the K&B for a nectar ice cream soda. Make this syrup and add it to some seltzer water with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream! I think you'll love it, a different ice cream soda."

I've never been to New Orleans, so I can't say whether this tastes authentic, but I am sure it does, since Trinkets grew up there. I like it. It's vert nice as a sauce over ice cream, and I just tried the ice cream soda, and it was very good as well. <br/><br/>I did a second half-batch and added 1 tsp vanilla and no almond, and with fizzy water added, it makes an excellent Cream Soda-almost better than the beloved and mourned Barq's Cream soda of my childhood.
